From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   declarative language
  
      A general term for a {relational language} or a {functional
      language}, as opposed to an {imperative language}.   Imperative
      (or procedural) languages specify explicit sequences of steps
      to follow to produce a result, while declarative languages
      describe relationships between variables in terms of functions
      or {inference rule}s and the language executor ({interpreter}
      or {compiler}) applies some fixed {algorithm} to these
      relations to produce a result.   The most common examples of
      declarative languages are {logic programming} languages such
      as {Prolog} and {functional language}s like {Haskell}.
  
      See also {production system}.
